Definitions

  • the invention relates to an integrated mill comprising a coking plant, a blast furnace arrangement and a converter steelworks.
  • molten pig iron is required. This is produced in the blast furnace arrangement by means of high-grade metallurgical coke, the latter being supplied from the coking plant.
  • solid iron carriers, in particular scrap are fed to the converters as coolants, the addition of external scrap sometimes having the disadvantage that undesired accompanying elements that cannot be removed will be introduced into the steel produced.
  • cupola gases such as coke oven gas and converter exhaust gases
  • cupola gases so far, have been utilized only partially, e.g., for heating purposes, to generate steam or--at a low efficiency only--to produce current.
  • the invention aims at avoiding these disadvantages and has as its object to render the incurring cupola gases, i.e., coke oven gas and converter exhaust gases, in an integrated mill of the initially defined kind utilizable at a better efficiency than so far, to increase, at the same time, the amount of steel produced without expansion of the capacities of the blast furnace arrangement and of the coking plant, and to ensure a high purity of the steel by largely excluding impurities of an unknown kind.
  • cupola gases i.e., coke oven gas and converter exhaust gases
  • a further significant aim of the present invention consists in reducing the specific energy consumption per ton of crude steel produced, i.e., the amount of primary energy required per ton of crude steel.
  • This object is achieved according to the invention in that a plant for directly reducing iron ore is additionally adjoined to the mill, that the ducts for the exhaust gas from the converters and the coke oven gas ducts from the coking plant are connected to a reformer to produce reducing gas substantially containing CO and H 2 , and that the reformer is connected with the direct reduction plant via a reducing gas duct.
  • the direct reduction plant may comprise one or several shaft furnaces.
  • a gas reservoir is arranged in the exhaust ducts from the converters to the reformer.
  • the exhaust gas discontinuously incurring from the converters during blowing is collected in the gas reservoir or balancing vessel and may be continuously given off to the reformer.
  • the sponge iron produced in the direct reduction plant suitably is charged into the converters.
  • the sponge iron produced in the direct reduction plant is charged into the converters in hot condition.
  • even solid carbon carriers are introduced into the metal melt contained in the converters in order to reduce iron oxide residues still contained therein and to adjust the desired carbon content.
  • the reducing gas extracted from top of the direct reduction plant and partially reacted and, if desired, a portion of the exhaust gas from the converters are largely freed from the carbon dioxide contained therein, and the deacidified gas mixture thus obtained is admixed with the reducing gas as recirculating gas.
  • a mill according to the invention is illustrated in the drawing by way of a block diagram.
  • the mill comprises a coking plant denoted by 1 in the block diagram; from this, coke oven gas is extracted via a duct 2, the solid coke, via a conveyor 3, getting into the blast furnace arrangement 4, of which just one blast furnace is schematically illustrated.
  • the latter is charged from the ore feeder 5 also with lumpy ore--if desired, in sintered condition.
  • Blast furnace gas is discharged through duct 4'.
  • the pig iron produced in the blast furnace is transferrd into the converter steelworks 6, which may comprise several converters, and is converted into crude steel. Scrap may be added via conveying duct 6'.
  • the converter exhaust gas forming during the conversion (blowing) process is extracted by duct 7, the crude steel produced is tapped from the converters.
  • a gas cooling and purifying means 8 as well as a compressor 9 are provided. Furthermore, it is suitable to install a gas reservoir 10 in the exhaust duct 7.
  • the plant parts described are combined with a plant 11 for the direct reduction of iron ore, which--as illustrated--advantageously is designed as at least one shaft furnace.
  • This direct reduction plant 11 is charged with lumpy ore or pellets from the ore feeder 5 via duct 12.
  • the converter exhaust gas duct 7, at 13, is united with the coke oven gas duct 2, in which a means 14 for purifying and cooling the coke gas as well as a compressor 15 are provided, the mixed gas being conducted into a reformer 16.
  • a reducing gas essentially consisting of CO and H 2 is produced from this mixed gas, which is fed into the direct reduction plant 11 via a reducing gas duct 17.
  • the sponge iron formed is removed from the direct reduction plant 11 and--optionally in a hot-briquetted state from a briquetting means (not illustrated) following upon the reduction plant--is charged into the converters of the converter steelworks 6 by a transporting means 18.
  • the partially reacted reducing gas, the exhaust gas from the direct reduction plant or top gas from top of the direct reduction plant 11 is discharged through a top gas duct 19, in which, in the exemplary embodiment illustrated, a gas cooling and purifying aggregate 20 as well as a compressor 21 are incorporated.
  • Part of the top gas, upon compression in the compressor 21, may be fed into the converter exhaust gas conducting duct 7 via duct 22 illustrated in broken lines and supplied to the reformer 16.
  • the duct 24 branching off at 23 takes purified top gas to the reformer 16, where it is suitably burnt to heat the catalyst pipes of the reformer.
  • the thermal content of the combustion gas extracted from the reformer through duct 25, according to the embodiment illustrated, is still utilized in recuperators 26 and 27 to preheat the coke oven gases in duct 2 as well as the converter exhaust gases in duct 7.
  • the converter exhaust gas duct 7 may be connected with the top gas duct 19 by means of an admixing duct 28, wherein, in a mixing head 29, the quantitative portions of the gases supplied through a recirculating gas duct 30 leading away from the mixing head 29 and through the reducing gas duct 17 for the direct reduction plant 11 may be controlled.
  • a means 31 for separating CO 2 (deacidification) from the purified and compressed top gas, optionally mixed with converter exhaust gas, as well as for preheating the deacidified gas mixture is incorporated in the recirculating gas duct 30.
  • purified top gas from duct 24 may be supplied to means 31 through branch duct 32.
  • each individual duct blocking, diverting and controlling organs (not illustrated) may additionally be provided.
  • the plants united to such a mill may have the following capacities to produce 4.2 ⁇ 10 6 tons per year (t.p.y.) of crude steel:
  • the following exemplary embodiment serves, which has been based on the production of 1 ton crude steel (CS) by using an integrated mill operating in the manner described above.
  • Blast furnace gas for one part is burnt in the mill itself (preheating furnaces), for the other part is converted into current in a power station.
  • the charging substances and the products had the following compositions:
  • a comparison of the energy balance for the production of 1 ton crude steel in an integrated mill according to the invention with that of a conventional mill operating without direct reduction plant shows a reduction of the specific energy consumption (based on one ton crude steel produced) of about 1.77 GJ (about 21.77 GJ/t crude steel conventionally as compared to about 20.0 GJ/t crude steel according to above example).
